these are my first three autobiographical paintings.
as i moved into painting more and more,
these three paintings came into being.

all three are "mixed media"
(meaning that they have just about everything
from kid's glue/inks to oil paints to styrofoam fill
to decoupage to actual dice to crushed glass
to acrylic paint to even a bit of my own blood --
the latter being the only thing in there quite by accident).

however, as the autobiographical series moves forward
from #1 (canto xiii),
i also move forward into using more and more oil paint --
as can be seen in #2 (OY TIE),
so much so that #3 (what color is fear?)
is predominately oil paint,
although not exclusively.
in all 3, you can see the obvious "not-oil-paint stuff" in there too.
